See also: -Bibliography on Applied History in History; AWC curricular materials, Arch. -US Army Use of Battlefield Sites for Staff Rides/Training Exercises The earliest organized battlefield visit by a US Army school involved the graduating class of the U.S. Military Academy to the Gettysburg National Military Park in 1902. Reports of the Superintendent of USMA and Gettysburg National Military Park Commission in Annual Reports of Sec of War (UA24s) indicate similar trips through 1916, with the exception of 1908. See: 1902, p. 47; 1903, p. 37; 1904, pp. 59-60; 1905, pp. 41 & 139; 1906, pp. 195 & 312; 1907, pp. 215 & 328; 1909, pp. 33; 1910, p. 303; 1911, p. 261-62 & 323-24; 1912, pp. 133-34; 1913, p. 137 & 189; 1914, pp. 591-52 & 642; 1915, pp. 822, 872 & 875; 1916, pp. 1192, 1233 & 1235, 1917., p. 197; and 1918, p. 1472. The 1918 report reveals also that the Army War College had been sending regular visitors through 1917. The 1916 report even mentions US Marines. Not found was the date for the final cadet class visit to Gettysburg. Understandably, WWI participation temporarily halted trips, but no further mention of such trips appears in abbreviated versions of the Annual Reports during the 1920s and 1930s. The Academy's curriculum change, noted in the following report, may account for cessation of intense study of the Civil War. U.S. Military Academy. Annual Report of the Superintendent. West Point, NY: Academy Press, 1922. p. 13. U410.E1.A1. The various schools at Ft Leavenworth also conducted battlefield trips by 1906. A discussion of the organizational changes these schools at the turn-of-the-century appear in Timothy K. Nenninger, The Leavenworth Schools and the Old Army: Education, Professionalism, and the Officer Corps of the United States Army, 1881-1918 (Westport, CT: Greenwood, 1978; U415N46). His earlier dissertation contains a brief discussion of the role of the "staff ride" in the curriculum (U415A1N4, pp. 215-19). Prior to 1906, "terrain rides" (field exercises without troops) were conducted at Leavenworth and environs. As early as 1894, the first year of operation of the US Infantry and Cavalry School there, an instructor in the Dept of Mil Art had recommended limited on-site instruction for his students at "some of the most noted battlefields of the War of Secession." However, this recommendation by Col Arthur L. Wagner remained unrealized until 1904, when "staff ride" appeared in a General Service and Staff College course implementation recommendation. See: U.S. General Service and Staff College. Annual Report of the Commandant.... Ft Leavenworth: Staff College Press, 1904. pp. 106-12. U415.E1. Staff Rides p.4 U.S. Infantry and Cavalry School. Annual Report of...Commandant...1894. pp. 18-26. U415.E1.A2. Participants in the 1906 Leavenworth staff ride traveled the North Georgia campaign of 1864. Rides of subsequent years covered this and other areas, including Manassas, Chickamauga-Chattanooga, and Jackson's Shenandoah Valley Campaign. Interestingly, in the Annual Secretary of War Reports, the reports of the Commissioners of Vicksburg, Shiloh, Gettysburg and Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Parks contain no mention of visits by Leavenworth groups (reports of the Leavenworth schools on file here cover only through 1910). According to Robertson, cited below, staff rides were conducted for five consecutive years. See: U.S. Army Service Schools, Ft Leavenworth. Annual Report of Commandant...,1906-1919. U415E1. See: 1906, pp. 129-35; 1907, pp. 94-110; 1908, pp. 63-74; 1909, pp. 55-60; and 1910, pp. 41-49. The General Service Schools at Ft Leavenworth published a series of source books to accompany their studies of selected Civil War battle sites. See, for example: U.S. General Service Schools. Fort Henry and Fort Donelson Campaign, February, 1861. Source Book, 1923. 1488 p. E472.U65. _____. Source Book of the Peninsula Campaign in Virginia, April to July 1862. Ft Leavenworth: School Press, 1921. 996 p. E473.6.U58. The US Army War College became the third major school to make use of the battlefield sites, as revealed in AWC curricular materials and other collections of personal papers held in MHI Archives. For example, the Andrew Bruce Papers contain background notes and detailed blueprint maps of the late 1920s when the AWC Historical Section prepared terrain studies of the battlefields. The Matthew Forney Steele Papers are also excellent on the earlier Ft Leavenworth rides. For a nice summary of the staff ride within the pre-1940 AWC curriculum, see: Terrell, Richard D. "The Army War College Curriculum--Implications of Design." AWC study project, 1986. pp. 5, 18 & 26-27. Arch. See also these selected items spanning 1909-1939: "Army War College Course in Military Art, 1908-09: Exercises, Solutions, Discussions, Records of Attendance and Miscellaneous Papers." Vol. II, pp. 764-790 + photos. Arch. Unarranged files, 1938-39 (Arch) which include tentative itinerary for the ride, field exercise directive, list of National Park Service personnel for points of contact, and samples of pre-visit correspondence with Park Service officials and private individuals. Hunter, G.B. AWC Historical Ride, 1939: Work Notes and Miscellaneous Data. AWC File #355-39/5, Arch. Staff Rides p.5 The first two documents offer interesting insights into logistical problems encountered by the staff ride action officers. Today, thanks to public ownership of historic sites, such as the Stone House at Manassas, AWC need not worry about renting someone's front yard for an hour a year! Comments and reminiscences of officers who visited battlefields as part of their formal Army Schooling include these: Blumenson, Martin, editor. The Patton Papers. Vol. I: 1885-1940. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1972. pp. 172-73. E745.P3.B55v1. Taylor, Maxwell. Oral history transcripts. Sec II, pp. 14-15. Arch. The suspension of War College, 1940-1950 led to various new directions for the curriculum, and after 1951 staff rides no longer formed part of the formal course of study. They continued as an extra- curricular activity. In the 1980s, effort and enthusiasm by then-AWC faculty members Col Harold Nelson and Dr.

Willbanks, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Robert F. Baumann, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Maria Carlson, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Jacob W. Kipp, Committee Member Date approved: April 27, 2009 ii PREFACE Generals have often been reproached with preparing for the last war instead of for the next–an easy gibe when their fellow-countrymen and their political leaders, too frequently, have prepared for no war at all. Preparation for war is an expensive, burdensome business, yet there is one important part of it that costs little–study. However changed and strange the new conditions of war may be, not only generals, but politicians and ordinary citizens, may find there is much to be learned from the past that can be applied to the future and, in their search for it, that some campaigns have more than others foreshadowed the coming pattern of modern war.1 — Field Marshall Viscount William Slim.

AVAILABLE FROM Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402 ($6.50). EDRS PRICE MF02/PC20 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *History: military Personnel: *Military Science: *Military Training: Study Guides ABSTRACT This study guide On military history is intended for use with the young officer just entering upon a military career. There are four major sections to the guide. Part one discusses the scope and value of military history, presents a perspective on military history; and examines essentials of a study program. The study of military history has both an educational and a utilitarian value. It allows soldiers to look upon war as a whole and relate its activities to the periods of peace from which it rises and to which it returns. Military history also helps in developing a professional frame of mind and, in the leadership arena, it shows the great importance of character and integrity. In talking about a study program, the guide says that reading biographies of leading soldiers or statesmen is a good way to begin the study of military history. The best way to keep a study program current is to consult some of the many scholarly historical periodicals such as the "American Historical Review" or the "Journal of Modern History." Part two, which comprises almost half the guide, contains a bibliographical essay on military history, including great military historians and philosophers, world military history, and U.S.

  • Trail Commission Searches SC Swamps for Gen. Francis Marion
    Vol. 4 No. 1_____________________________________ ________________January – March 2007 Trail Commission Searches SC Swamps for Gen. Francis Marion The oil on canvas painting, General Marion Inviting a British Officer to Share His Meal, by Eutaw Springs artist John Blake White (1781 - 1859), memorializes the “Swamp Fox” sharing his sweet potato dinner with a British officer reported by “Parson” Mason Locke Weems in his highly romanticized The Life of General Francis Marion: A Celebrated Partisan Officer, in the Revolutionary War, Against the British and Tories in South Carolina and Georgia. This painting was presented to the United States Senate in 1899. According to the artist’s son, Octavius A. White: “the figure of Marion is a portrait from memory, as my father, when a boy, knew him well. Marion’s farm adjoined the plantation of my grandfather.” If this is true, this is the closest any artistic representation of Marion is to the artist having painted a contemporaneous image of the partisan. For more information on this painting, see the catalogue write-up at http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/art/artifact/Painting_33_00002.htm. For recent “news” on Oscar Marion, see http://fusilier.wordpress.com/2006/12/17/oscar-marion-is-anonymous-no-longer. The Francis Marion Trail Commission will seek out the documentation and archaeology to sort the myth from the man and to accurately depict the story of the Revolution in the Pee Dee and Lowcountry of South Carolina on those hallowed grounds. 1 Editor / Publisher’s Notes Academicians have many academic journals in which to publish articles, but the lay writers are much more limited.
